Hacker News "Who is hiring?" thread (freelancer), January 2021

text: Manchester, UK | Remote<p>I am looking for someone to write me an open-source, block-based WYSIWYG editor based on React components which outputs JSX.  Think Colonel Kurtz, Sir Trevor JS etc, Editor JS doesn&#x27;t support nesting.<p>Ideally the editor will be a React app.  Output will be:<p><pre><code>  &lt;Text&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;This is text, with 
      &lt;Highlight color=&quot;red&quot;&gt;inline components&lt;&#x2F;Highlight&gt;.
    &lt;&#x2F;p&gt;
  &lt;&#x2F;Text&gt;
  &lt;Aside&gt;
    &lt;Text&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nesting is possible.&lt;&#x2F;p&gt;&lt;&#x2F;Text&gt;
    &lt;Image id=&quot;12&quot; layout=&quot;right&quot; &#x2F;&gt;
  &lt;&#x2F;Aside&gt;
</code></pre>
You get the idea.  All editors represent this structure in some weird hybrid of JSON and HTML at the moment.<p>For editing, Custom elements are simple React Components that provide the UI.<p>For output, the content is just parsed as XML and rendered.  I can provide a more detailed spec.<p>I&#x27;ve reviewed the majority of WYSYWYG editors out there and made starts on coding this but I just don&#x27;t have the JS chops to pull it off.<p>alex@howacarworks.com
